Hide Paragraph text outside of frame


Recommended Posts

Simple, how do you hide paragraph text if it is outside of it's frame?

 

Also, is it possible to move a shape as you are creating it? In Photoshop you hold space as you make a rectangle and you can change the position immediately as you are resizing. Incredible feature. Is this in AD?

 

Thanks a lot for the support. Trying to still see if AD is viable for me.

Currently we have no direct way to hide text that is outside the frame. You can add clipping manually, or just select it and delete it. Can I ask why you want to have text in the document that you can't see? I think that would just get confusing. Especially later, when we add options for find and replace of fonts, colours, words etc, and you are finding in text that isn't visible.

 

Currently you can't move a shape as you are creating it, either.

Ah bummer. Sometimes it's convenient just throwing in quick lorem ipsum and then not having to delete lines. Instead if you want more you increase box size and it shows the lines you previously didn't delete. 

 

Also, the move a shape while creating is huge feature (yet small). haha. Good start I'd say overall with the software though.

Have you tried our lorem ipsum feature? Text > Insert Filler Text. It fills to the end of the frame, and generates and deletes itself dynamically as you resize. It works with shaped frames (eg, create a Rounded Rectangle and click on it with the Frame Text tool) and adapts as you move the handles. It even works with Path Text. Try it: it's pretty cool.

Would it be possible to put an overflow out box like InDesign has? This is really very helpful, particularly in long documents.

 

At the moment we only support single pages so it's not really an issue. By the time Publisher comes out, we'll have multi-page support, and Publisher will be able to flow text across pages. There will certainly be some UI to link the overflow from one frame into another, with some indication of whether the story is too long for the layout.
